Nice, as long as it doesn't taste like cats ****, only got it too early the once, never again. Have just looked through all the smilies and there just isn't that comes close to early elderflower.

Can you get Guinness? I fancy making a barrel of that especially if it only costs 45p a pint. When I was in Heathrow last month the hotel was charging £9 per pint Thank god for company expenses..

not quite Guiness, but theres some good stout kits about, last stout I did was £15 for the kit.

If yer not used to home brew, dont dive in supping it, 2 reasons, leaving it longer makes for a better brew, minimum 2 months in a keg IMO, it might be clear after a 2/3 weeks, but leaving it to mature just makes it better,
2nd, homebrew still contains alot of live yeast, good for, how shall we say, giving you a good clear out

That last pint from the barrel can be fun.. Shall I drink it? It tastes ok, bit cloudy though.

that Coopers is a good un,

Last pint from a barrel, and of course you drink it, you already had 4 or 5, Im a cheap skate so like to get every last drop from the barrel

barrels only good in the winter for me though, got no where cool to keep it in the summer, so have to bottle.

not been on form lately, I usually have 3 brews on go at once, one drinking, one maturing, and one fermenting or early maturing
